Motoring & the Environment
Berlingo-2-VU_en_Chap02_eco-conduite_ed02-2015
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest 
items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the 
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind 
resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). 
Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your 
summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to 
the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- 
before a long journey
 ,
-
 
at each change of season,
-
 
after a long period out of use.
d
on't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or 
caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil 
filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and 
observe the schedule of operations recommended in the 
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is 
faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the 
emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of 
the nozzle to avoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 
1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel 
consumption settle down to a consistent average.

In practice
It is possible to drive with the right-
hand door open to make it easier to 
carry long loads. The left-hand door is 
kept closed by the distinctive "yellow" 
lock, positioned at the base of the door. 
This closed door must not be used as 
a load retainer.
d
riving with the right-hand door open 
is a special dispensation. Comply with 
the usual safety indications to warn 
other drivers.
HINGED REAR DOORS
From outside
Pull the lever to open the right-hand 
door.
To close, start with the right-hand door 
then close the left-hand door.
To open, pull the handle towards you. The hinged rear doors are 
asymmetrical (2/3 - 1/3), with the 
smaller door on the right.
They are fitted with a central lock. With the roof rear flap, the rear 
bumper has been reinforced to 
serve as a footrest when entering 
the vehicle.
Take care when a trailer is 
attached to the towball; opening 
the side-hinged rear doors may 
not be possible. You may have to 
detach the trailer.

Activation / DeactivationMalfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the LED 
in the button comes on, accompanied 
by an audible signal and a message in 
the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified 
workshop.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that 
the sensors are not covered with mud, 
ice or snow.
The system will be deactivated 
automatically if a trailer is being towed 
or if a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle 
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier 
recommended by CITROËN).
You can activate or deactivate 
the system by pressing this 
button.
The activation or deactivation 
of the system is stored when 
the vehicle stops.
The parking sensor system 
cannot, in any circumstances, 
take the place of the vigilance and 
responsibility of the driver.
Engage forward gear
In addition to the rear parking sensors, 
the front parking sensors are triggered 
when an obstacle is detected in 
front of the vehicle and the speed 
of the vehicle remains below 6 mph 
(10
  km/h).The tone from the speaker (front 
or rear) allows an obstacle to be 
identified as either in front of or 
behind the vehicle.
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral. You are advised to deactivate 
the system if your vehicle is fitted 
with a rear ladder or if you are 
transporting a load which exceeds 
the length of the vehicle.

Driving safely
Berlingo-2-VU_en_Chap05_Securite_ed02-2015
Operating faults
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may 
suffer interference from accumulations 
of dirt or misting of the windscreen. 
In this case you are warned by the 
display of a message.
Use the windscreen demisting 
and regularly clean the area of the 
windscreen in front of the sensor.Do not stick or otherwise fix any 
object on the windscreen in front 
of the sensor. System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the 
system, you are warned by an audible 
signal and the display of the message 
"Automatic braking system fault".
Have the system checked by a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
In the event of an impact to 
the windscreen at the sensor, 
deactivate the system and contact 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop
 
to 
 have your windscreen 
replaced.
Never try to remove, adjust or test 
the sensor.
o
nly a CITR o Ë n  dealer or a 
qualified workshop is able to work 
on the system.
When towing a trailer or when the 
vehicle is being towed, the system 
must be deactivated.

Towing a trailer
Berlingo-2-VU_en_Chap06_accessoire_ed02-2015
For more information about 
weights and towed loads, refer to 
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING  A TRAILER ,  A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
d
istribute the load in the trailer so 
that the heaviest objects are as 
close as possible to the axle and 
the nose weight is close to the 
maximum authorised without, however, 
exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases 
the coolant temperature.a s the fan is electrically controlled, its 
cooling capacity is not dependent on 
the engine speed.
You should therefore use a high gear 
to lower the engine speed and reduce 
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the 
coolant temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: 
gearbox in neutral.

Towing a trailer
Berlingo-2-VU_en_Chap06_accessoire_ed02-2015
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous 
use (towing the maximum load up a 
steep slope in high temperatures), the 
engine automatically limits its power. 
In this case,   the air conditioning is 
automatically cut off to save engine 
power.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the 
recommended pressures. Chapter 7, "Levels" section.If the coolant temperature 
warning lamp comes on, stop 
the vehicle and switch off the 
engine as soon as possible. Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. 
Drive at a moderate speed, change 
down early and brake gradually.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine 
CITR
o Ë n  towbars and their wiring 
harnesses, which have been tested 
and approved from the design stage of 
your vehicle, and that you entrust the 
fitting of this equipment to a CITROËN 
dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a 
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that 
it is fitted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the 
vehicle and in accordance with the 
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general 
instructions a reminder of which has 
been given above, we draw your 
attention to the risk associated with 
fitting a towbar or electrical accessory 
not recommended by CITROËN. 
Fitting such equipment could result in 
the failure of your vehicle's electronic 
system. Please obtain information from 
the Manufacturer before fitting this type 
of equipment.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. 
Drive smoothly and at a moderate 
speed.
ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control 
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Parking sensors
The rear parking sensors system does 
not function while the vehicle is towing.
